Well I have lot of MPC stuff as I only re-entered into the Lionel era after my sons were born in the early 70's. So most of my new train buying was MPC. In collecting I tend to go for the pre-war struff but I mostly run MPC...reliable, easy to fix, maintain. Here is one I got just this Saturday at a train show in Plano, Tx.
Lionel MPC #8551 Santa Fe Alco from 1973-75 This engine was only sold as a stand alone "A" unit.
Here is a little video with a short train, note IC boxcar is MPC as well.
Best Wishes

I just wanted to compliment you on your taste. I just recently found my old gal after 50 years stored in my late father's garage. It took some work to remove all the rust but got her up and running again.
